Hello. I made this team script, and it will not work if I add debounce. I tested the script with prints and when it comes to the part where it finds the humanoid it won't work. Here is my script: I have some other locals, but that doesn't matter. The locals are assigned for teams.

local door = script.Parent
local debounce = false

door.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if humanoid then
            local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
            if plr.Team == Republic then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
                debounce = false
            elseif plr.Team == RI then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
                debounce = false
            elseif plr.Team == BlueTeam then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
                debounce = false
            elseif plr.Team == CG then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
                debounce = false
            elseif plr.Team == RG then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
                debounce = false
            elseif plr.Team == RC then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
                debounce = false
            end
        end
    end
end)

Hope you can help, thank you.

The script just stops after it set debounce to true. peter21340 41 — 4y

Use print() to print a string for each condition passed. That will help you find where the script is stopping. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 4y

This happen because when a thing that doesn't has a Humanoid touched the door, debounce will set true then if-then will check is the thing touched has Humanoid but it dosen't has so the debounce = false line inside every if-then won't run. The next time something touch the door the rest of the code won't run because debounce is still true.

local debounce = false

door.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if humanoid then
            local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
            if plr.Team == Republic then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
            elseif plr.Team == RI then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
            elseif plr.Team == BlueTeam then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
            elseif plr.Team == CG then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
                debounce = false
            elseif plr.Team == RG then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
            elseif plr.Team == RC then
                door.CanCollide = false
                door.Transparency = .3
                wait(1)
                door.CanCollide = true
                door.Transparency = .5
                wait(1)
            end
        end
    debounce = false
    end
end)

Likely because the debounce variable is supposed to only be mutated whenever there is a humanoid within the touching object AND if any of the plr.Team conditions are satisfied. If the player is in none of those teams, it won't be set to false.
